and States, the. strongest assurances or their friendly disposition towards His Majesty. His Majesty, on his part, is constant and unwearied in his end ea yours to reconcile conflicting Interests, and to recommend and cultivate Peace, both in the nid world and in the new. " His Majesty commands us to inform you, that in fursus.ttee of this policy,His Majesty's nte. diction has been unsuccessfully employed in the cultivation of a'r reaty bet ween the Crowns of Por fugal 'and Brazil, by which the relations of friendly intercourse, long interrupted between the kin dred ,Nations, have been restored, and the Inde- Petidettre of the Brazilian Empire has been for mally acknowledged. " Ilis Majesty 103 PS no opportunity of giving effect to the principles of Trade and Navigation, which have received the sanction of Parliament, and of establishing them as far as possible by 'engagements with Foreign Powers. " His Majesty has directed to be laid before you a copy of a Convention framed on those prin. ciPies, which has recently been concluded ba. tween His Majesty and the King of France ; tad of a similar Convention with the Free Han. seatic Cities of Lubeck, Bremen, and Hamburg. " His Majesty has likewise directed to be laid before you, a Copy of a Treaty of Amity, Com merce, and Navigation, concluded between Ilia Majesty and the Republic of Columbia, the natifications of ,which have been exchanged since the 'Close of the last Session. For the carrying into effect some of the stipulations of this Treaty, His Majesty will have need of your assistance. His Majesty regrets that he has not to announce to you the termination of hostilities in India. But the operations of the last campaign, through the bravery of the forces of Ms Majesty, and of the East India Company, and the skill and perseverence of their Commanders, have been attended with uniform success, and His l\lajesty trusts, that a continuance of the same texertions, may lead at no distant period to an honourable and satisfactory pacification. Ilis Majesty's attention has been direct ed to the consideration of several Measures recommended in the last Session of Parliament for improving the Condition of Ireland. The Industry of that part of the United Kingdom .Ilia Majesty has the satisfaction of acquainting you, is in a course of gradual and general ad vancement—an advancement mainly to be attri buted to that state of tranquillity which now happily prevails throughout all the provinces of Ireland. " Get:lmm of the house of Commons, " Ilia Majesty has directed the Estimates for the Year to be prepared and laid before you. " They have been framed with an all/tit/US desire to avoid every expenditure beyond what the necessary demands of the public service may require. " His Majesty has the satisfaction of inform ng you ) that the Produce of the Revenue, in the last Year, has fully justified the expecta tions entertained at the commencement of it. " My Lords and Gentlemen, " llis Alajesty deeply laments the injurious effects which the late pecuniary crisis must have entailed upon many Branches of the Com merce and Manufactures of the United Kingdom. Lut Ilis Majesty confidently believes, that the temporary check which Commerce and Manu factures may at this moment experience, will, "der the blessing of Divine Providence, neither "hair the great sources of our wealth, nor im- Petle the growth of National Prosperity." BY a rare coincidence, we have this day the opportunity of presenting our Readers with the Royal Speeches from the Thrones of both England and France both breathe alike pacific sentiments; and from the as sat aoces of similar dispositions on the part of other PotentFttes,lt may be reasonably inferred, that the demise of ALEXANDER, will produce no sinister *flea on the peace of Europ... German Papers arrived this morning : their contents are of little interest, The following are *xtructs : SWITZERLAND, JAN. 20. • The Papers of Messrs. Pfyfier and Conagioni, which had been .put under seal of Lucerne, have just been transmitted to the Commission at Zurich, to be examined. The report made in 1816 by Messrs. Rickly and Bushither, the medical gentle men who inspected the body of M. Keller, states, in the most Positive manner, that no signs of a violent death were to be found. All that some Journals say to the contrary is on abso lute falsehood, as the documents will prove. MUNICH, .TAN. 21. The Ring has just given afresh proof of his indeintigableat .tention to the public good. His Majes t y has issued an Ordi-. 4411 ce, by which, out of the considerable sums saved by the re trenchment in the administration of the army, an advance of x,333 florins, 20 pr. per month shall be made in aid of the Sinking Fund, dating from the beginning of this year, which nukes the sum of a million annually. This truly Royal benefit haw caused universal joy, and enhanced the -Mat hopes which the country conceived on the accts. ! l ion of his Majetty to the throne, and width have been . gt re allY in a gre Th at degree realized. e Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, and the Commissioners named by the States, kftTe present e d to his Majesty an address of thanks, expressing the gratitude of the commission, and of the whole country for this benefit. The credit of Bavaria, which was already vet.) solid, has thereby acquired additional strength, and of the unli. naked confidence of the faithful Bavarians, in the wisdom, :ins. rice, and care.of their augUst Sovereign, could' be increased. the shove Ordinance would form the last link of the chain. which attaches a loyal people to the throne of its beloved Mo narch. ST 17TTGATID, JAN. 22. The Prince de Schonburg, Austrian Ambassador, and Mini ster Plenipotentiary to our Court, has to day presented his credentials to his 'Majesty. —(l , ' ranlfort Paper:, Jan. Di. ) The Lisbon Gazettes, from 16th to eist Ja nuary, which also arrived this morning', contain no new political information. There are some financial regulations, and a statement of the burn ing of some bonds of the national debt ii► the usual manner. A list is given of 17 Portuguese vessels stranded on the neutral ground, in the Bay of Gibraltar, in the night of 6th December. THE Loan CIUNCELLOR.—The health of hi. Lordship continues to improve, he, passed a very good night and was more free from pain. The answers given this day were, " his Lordship continues mending." Yesterday afternoon at three o'clock, a Cabi. net Council was held at the Secretary of State's Office for Foreig n Affairs, which was attended by the Earls of Liverpool, Harrowby, and West— morland, Mr. Secretary Peel, Mr. Secretary Can. ning, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Viscount Melville, Mr. Huskisson, &c. The Ministers sat in deliberation. till past tiie o'clock. The Colombian Minister transacted business yesterday at the Foreign Office. Yesterday morning, Sir if,ErtnEtur TAYLOR transacted military business with the Duke of lona., at his Royal Highness's house, in South Audley.street. Yesterday morning, Mr. CLEWS, the King's Messenger, arrived at the Foreign Office in Dow n ingotreet, from St. Petersburgh, with dispatches from our Ambassador at that Court to Mr. Secre. tary CANNING, The Messenger made a very expeditious journey, having left St. Petersburgh on the 19th of January, and of coarse was -only 13 days on hi 4 journey. At the time the Mrs. senger left St. Petersburgh, the state of the capital was perfectly tranquil. By the Tartar frigate, letters were received yesterday from Rio de Janeiro to the 29th of November. Sir CHAttLrs STUART sailed from thence on the 24th, in the Diamond frigate, on a visit, as it was given out, to the northern pro. thee' of Brazil, akhia, and Pernambuco. This change of destination, after the .merchants had been led to believe that he was about to proceed to Buenos Ayres in the character of apacificator, had created a very lively alarm at Rio, as indi cating the suspension or the breaking off of ne gociation ; and the sailing for Monte Vidt about the same time, of a reinforcement of 1,600 men, had confirmed most of the merchants in the belief that hostilities with Buenos Ayres and the .Banda Oriental were to be pursued with greater vigour than ever. Another con. struction is, however, put upon bath these events in some of the letters; the well-informed merchants giving k as their opinion that Sir CHARLES STUART, after his return from llaWa and from Pernambuco, would repair to Buenos Ayres to conduct the nezociation, and that the measure of sending more troops to Monte, V Wee was only adopted with the view of taking a better position during the discussions, by prov ing that the Estemaott was still prepared, if necessary, to prosecute the war with vigour. Accounts from St. Thomas's, dated - Dec. 12, state that several Spanish cruisers had appeared among the islands (one accouet says four) ; they -had made several valuable prizes. Two English rnerchantmen were reported to be captured by these freebooters. _ The herald is not expected to sail wish the Marquis of HAsTINus before the middle of next week. Letters from Valparaisoolated October 9,state the, arrival there of the Blonde frigate, Lord BYRON, Captain, from the Sandw►ch Islands. The Calnbridge., 74, was also lying there ; and the Blossom, Captain BEAGIIEY, had arrived there, bound to Behringa Straits. The Brisk sloop of war, C aptain Hoec, sails directly from Portsmouth with dispatches fur Malta. Captain STIRLING is appointed to command the Success frigate at Plymouth. A report was circulated yesterday, and ob tained general credit, that the Bank Directors, in their interviews with Ministers, had agreed to a suspension of that part of their charter which limits the number of partners in country banks throughout I?angland generally to six, on the con dition that the privilege is not to be exercised except at a distance beyond 60 miles of the me. tropolis. It is understood that the principle is conceded by the Bunk of England, but that some dispute will arise as to the distance at which the privilege is to commence ; the Directors wishing to preserve as large a space as possible for the exercise of their old exclusive right, and the Go vernment wishing to limit that space as much as possible. But the principle being admitted, it is not very probable that a very long contention will exist on the minor points of detail. The MENAI SUSPENSION BRI DGE was ope►ned to the public on Monday, the 3001 of January, by the London and Holyhead down mail passing over it, at two o'clock in the morning. The horses trotted over it in their regular pace. Al. though a heavy gale of wind was blowing at the time, there was no perceptible difference in the motion of the coach, whether on the suspended road-way, or on the masonry arches. About nine o'clock, Sir Henry Parnell and Mr. Telford crossed over the bridge, in the travelling carriage of the latter, and during the whole day visitors from all parts of Carnarvonshire and Anglesea passed over in their carriages, besides numerous foot passengers. In the evening the workmen were regaled with a substantial dinner and abund ance of memo da. The inconvenient ferry across the rapid Menai estuary is thus, at. last, annihi lated, and another important facility given to the intercourse between the two kingdoms. THE FUNDS.

EXTRACT,OF ANOTHER LETTER, SAXE DATE. " You have, no doubt, ere you receive this, had the news of the hard-fought battle between the troops of the Banda (Mental and the Brazilians, in which the latter were defeated, and lost about 900 men, besides several that are hors de combat. The news of this event caused a great sensation here, and pro. dnead a great deal' of controversy in the Ministry, a part of which has resigned. It is a question what the new Ministry ►►ill do ; some sarthey are for place; others, for negotiation, and war in the mean tone; but if I am to judge from what I tee, I incline not to believe the former, because a division of 1,200 men have already been _sent ,to Rio Grande, and Sir Charles Stuart, who is said to be the mediator in the nego. ciation between the Brazilian and , the Buenos Ayres Govern. ment, goes to Bahia, but for what purpose no one knows; it seems singular that he should, proceed: to the .

The two latter have titles,. but I cannot recollect them . • there has been so many new lia runs, Viscounts, Counts, &c. created of late, anti some with such long names, that it is impossible to remember them. " The natives have no great opinion of the talents of the : new Ministers, and the general feeling is, that they will not remain long in office. The two first are magistrates; the third' is a courtier; and the fourth, I believe, is well known in Lon don, being one of the commissioners for the Brazil loan : he has a difficult part to play, having succeeded Dr. Marianna Biscunto, a man of great ability and integrity, who, however, does not enjoy the protection of a new-created and all-Powerful Viscountess, and of course left office. I shall be glad to hear that the negOciations with Buenos-Ayres are terminated to the satisfaction of both parties .(though I doubt it), because the consolidation of the lmperial Government depends entirely ou the enjoyment of a long peace.

Particular attention will be attracted by 31r..Mulready's Coned/Won, a picture exhibited some years ago at the Royal Academy, but now so elaborately retouched and altered, that it has almost all the effect of' novelty. Mr. I i aydon's Tenth Plague is a work of considerable power. Mr. Dimity and Mr. Martin occupy prominent situations; but The Deluxe, by the latter, falls short of what report had promised. Of Mr. Hilton's Christ Crowned with Thorns, it is unnecessary again to speak so soon after its exhibition at the gallery of the Royal Academy, where it was purchased by the Directors of this Institution, at the very liberal price of LIMO guineas. The sea view, with boats and shipping, by Mr. Stanfield, is his master. piece. Mr. Roberta has aunt an Interior (of the Cathedral at Rouen) which no modern painter could. surpass. Mr. Edwin Landseer's Animals, and his Highla n d Cottage, are admi. cable efforts. An Italian Landscape, by Mr. Linton (painted for his Grace the Duke of Bedford), is an exquisite picture. The Lake of Keswick, by the sante Artist (exhibited at the gallery of the Society of British Artists, last year) we also find here. Of ' its meriut we have already spoken.-- Ms. Etty's picture (from the Royal Academy) will also be re cognised and again admired. Mr. Sharp's Flask of Champagne is clever, and the story of it well told, but it does not approach his Dees' Wing. Mr. R. Noble (a young and very rising artist) has sent a spirited Landscape. The exhibition altogether does honour to the Arts in this country, and will doubtless he visited by numbers of diScernhig spectators. The British Institution I fully deserves its name, and sustains its character by thus pre. seining a triumphant display of native genius. Pl ERCE EGAN'S celebrated lift in London, which has been for some time slumbering in the recollection of the public, is at length revived in publication, and the two first Numbers have just made their re-appearance in all that raciness of character which proved so attractive originally ; one of the Plates in the Numbers before qs being rho celebrated Masquerade Scene, where Jerry is (logging the Clown off the supper table, eAe cuted in all the vigour of 110c,.t writ, and full of whim, character and humour. In the group ing of this motley assemblage, the general effect is considerably heightened by its breadth of con trast and appropriate colouring ; the Nuts is seen consorted with the Coal-beaver ; and the pig. faced Ludy in close confab with Sheen, the Jew, The Counsellor seems Poseds whether first to proceed by ' 44 action on the case" against the Clown, for his arrest of the fowl " in transilu" to his plate, or to file a hill its Chancery against Harlequin for inveigling the affections of Columbine ; the latter evidently a 44 Ward of Court," but whether of one of the Courts its the West, or of some of those leading out of Fleet street, in the City, musts perhaps, be 44 left to a Jury to decide." In another part of the scene, the D-1 himself is s een its full nocturne, but so intent on slaking his thirst as to disre gard the in. suit offered to his neighltoor, the Fireman.

The skirt has a light and elegant border, composed of two rouleaus, placed in a vaving direction ; and from a circlet that encompasses the lower part of the wave, proceeds an orna ment corresponding to those on the sleeve ; the rouleau in the centre is terminated by a button, and arranged semicircularly, so as to fill the space. formed by the rising of the rouleau ; be neath is a broad wadded bent. The sash is long, and of the same colour as the dress, but richly adorned with shaded leaves of a. deeper hue, and fastened on the right side with a highly wrought gold buds.

This has been a (lay of rejoicing with us ; the 29th. falling on a Sunday, the happy accession of his MaJ EST Y, to the most powerful throne in Europe, that is, the celebration of the event, was left to this day. The morning, in consequence, was ushered in by the ringing or bells from the tower or the parish church, on which the British flag was hoisted; and a royal salute was discharged from the battery at mid-day. The town, throughout the day, had a holiday appearnee—flags were flying ni various parts of it, and col. g eommon. The weather was mold includ ing those of rank and fashion, were as che e rfu l as th e we a th e r. , ti and n the were c ountenances• of the people, ai r d trul l a a t e o a r sa yJce Thus passed the time doing the blaze of sunshine ; and at sift o'clock, a very numerous party had assembled to p arta k e o f t h e accession dinner. at the Old Ship, with Sir George Shifter, Bart. in the Chair. The baron of beef sent up its smoking in vitation from the cents() of the dinipg apartment, the spacious balltroom of the house, which was crowded, and suitably orna. mented for the interesting Rte. The dinner over, " Non noble ,srvery?: theki neyrelis resident, n b t, y in a neat introductory speech, the Ilrightoa Catch and Glee gave " The King t " as the first toast. `Ph e effect was electrical; the acclamations were deafening ; the very room shook.

COVENT.GARDEN.—After the Opera of tbel Duenna, there was a new melo-dramatic trifle produced at this house last night, under the title of Norah, or The Girl of Erin.—The story is not of a very novel character. The Marchioness Derville (Miss LACY), is a widow, who, in her youth, contracted a secret marriage, which proved to be illegal, and she abandons her' infant to conceal her shame. The time of the drama • is 17 years after this event, and the Marchio. ness, then a prey to secret grief, is residing in Ireland with her brother, Lord Casileton• (Mr. • EGERTON), George Redmond , (Mr s Coonen), the nephew of the latter, has fallen in love with the supposed daughter of an Irish schoolmsster s named Dennis O'Flynn (Mr. Common). This is Norah (Miss GowAnD), the heroine of the piece, She is brought to the house of Lord Coutletors'in, consequence of her fame as a vocalist, where she is exposed to the jeers of Kathleen (Mrs. Gtovett),a sort of gouvernante in the family. We are let into the secret of Dennis o'l'4/nit profession in a man. nor not less classical than witty, Somebody sneers at his ability for teaching the vocal art, when Dennis replies, that it is a part of his business " like ould Olphaut to strike the trembling lyre (liar).” Brilliant as this is, some of the audience had the had taste to hiss it. Lord Castleton, though de. lighted with Norah and her singing, discovers the attachment between her and Redmond, and orders. him to quit his roof. The lover now offers.to, share the poverty of his disinterested Norah,. , who had previously repelled his suit on ate. count of the difference in their respective sta., lions ; but she only imparts to therm the know. , ledge of a still stronger obstacle, in the feet „ her being a foundling. She shows him a chain and , cross ) which were found with her; and Redmond: sees with extacy that it bears the initials of the Marchioness, of whose secret he has somehow or other become possessed. Of course Norah turns , out to be her daughter, the young people are united, and all are happy. Miss GOWARD has to support the chief interest and effect of the piece, and she did it in a manner highly creditable to so young an actress. We will not do her the injury to say that it might not have been improved in one or two instances ; but for the most part it was natural, and frequently pathetic. She sang two songs beau. tifully, and her clever exertions were liberally en, couraged and applauded by the audience. Miss LACY looked a very young mother of such a child, and had little else to do. CONNOR'S bi,ShiSMS were , too broad even to go down with the galleries, and the rest of the characters had nothing to do but assist in telling the story. Mrs. Grdoven, indeed, had not that. The piece was generally well received. NORTH AND SOUTII AMERICAN SUBSCRIPTION 800 M, F. 2. DEAL, Fzo. L—Arrived, and proceeded to the River, the Itlelpoinene, Johnston, from Honduras, for London ;..
